    Lennox Lewis said the most important thing for a young boxer coming out of the Olympics is to find the right team of trainer and promoter so one can focus on personal development from day one as a pro -- the money will come later and shouldn't be worried about too early on.

    At the time it seemed Harrison had all the talent and momentum going into his early pro career but he messed it up. He became his own promoter and had little time and energy left to dedicate himself to honing his boxing and mental skills.

    What way will Joshua go?

    Even the best trainer can't fix a glass jaw. Just look at that huge chin sticking out of his face: do you really think it will be long before someone shatters it?

    Based on the interview he gave after winning gold he isn't turning pro. But then again if a promoter throws a whole load of cash at him it would be hard to say no.

    He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Despite the success he has had, he knows he's still raw and has a lot to learn, hence why he wants to remain amateur.

    Lets hope he doesn't make the same mistakes Harrison and Khan did when they turned pro.
